Shaolin Temple of BooM FREE tracks, Duel Sale, Fixt, new videos
I have created a new blog that will be updated regularly which you can follow here boomhead.wordpress.com/
I have already started the new album set to be released next year in January and is still untitled, I released 2 albums this year already in "The Equinox" which is a demo album and you can actually download free here stob.bandcamp.com/album/the-equinox
And "Duel", As you may know, I discounted "Duel" by 50% in both digital download and CD stob.bandcamp.com/album/duel
"Duel" is also now available on FiXT which you can find here www.fixtstore.com/product/15985/Shaolin-Temple-of-BooM---Duel-(MP3-Album)
Fixt is a great community of underground and independent electronic/industrial/soundtrack type music so be sure and check it out.
For those of you that use Last FM, I am giving away "Into Nothing" here www.last.fm/music/Shaolin+Temple+of+BooM
Specifically here www.last.fm/music/Shaolin+Temple+of+BooM/Duel
I am also giving away "Into Nothing" here stob.bandcamp.com/track/into-nothing-free-download-single-from-duel-album
As previously stated, I am thinking of my new album already which will be of a more experimental nature. I will continue to search for new possibilities, and dive deeper into symphonic and electronic elements. I find a lot of inspiration in the news of today. You turn on the TV and all you see are conflicting ideologies, the art of division and control and of course the ever present state of war. I wrote a song like "Always, Everything" for times of trouble, something I can find to soothe my soul, I want to give that to you as a gift....go here to get it stob.bandcamp.com/track/always-everything
The next album will dive deeper into darkness as I think we are in a very dark time, I hope that we take things down a notch and realize how fragile everything is...
I am finishing up the first video from "Duel" for the 6th track on that album called "Transference" and it will have a special little something from Tim Thompson who directed "After the Fall" and "I would destroy" videos, he makes a brief appearance via a special effect, we are already gearing up for the video for the title track "Duel" which promises to take SToB videos in a whole new direction of bizarre, and dark imagery. "Transference" on the other hand is directed by me using a home video camera, it contains many scenes of my recent trip across the United States...

I just found this BooMHead and BooMFighter support video from a couple of years ago check it out here www.youtube.com/watch
This video brings back memories, it really is all of your support that fuels my fire, the fire I am talking about in the lyrics to "Duel" which you can fine here stob.bandcamp.com/track/duel-2 in fact you can find lyrics to most songs on my bandcamp site stob.bandcamp.com/
Check out this video that BooMFighter Mike made recently getting ready for a SToB street assault. www.youtube.com/watch

Duel 50% off Sales, SToB back on FiXT and impending revolution.
These are crazy times we live in, which is why there is a need for the art and music to reflect the times we live in. In a lot of ways the songs of "Duel" reflect these times and I was told that by someone prominent in the music industry but I am also told this by many a long time SToB supporter. I have already begun work on my next album which is untitled but it will take a closer look at our divisions, fears, control of opinions and mindset. It will be a much more electronic and darker album than I have ever created and it will come in January.
This recession has hit everyone hard hopefully we will pull out of it soon.....until then what I have done is lowered the price on all SToB merch and downloads on my bandcamp site stob.bandcamp.com/album/duel
The Duel CD is now $7, while the digital download of the album in your choice of format is only $3
Check out some reviews quotes on this album which have started coming in....
"Duel is a masterpiece" - Steven Covington Program Director 525 Power Tracks.
"This is an enjoyable, eminently credible release, striking just the right balance between conventional hard rock stylings and much more modern electro-dance grooves. Like the traditional, British tin of Quality Street, there truly is something here for everyone and you can be sure fans will have their favourite. Goths, clubbers and old-school rockers alike will find much to enjoy here, nestling snugly within the songs that make up ‘Duel’. One suspects we’ll be hearing a lot more from and about Mr. Alvarez, via Shaolin Temple of Boom" - Harry Paterson, Spheremag.com
"6th track on Duel, is the song Transference and all we can say is, 'wow'! This song is definitely a hit at The Cryb, as five of five of us, voted this song the best progressive rock tune, we have ever recieved. That being said, all the songs are fantastic and all the hard work that went into this release, is clearly heard and felt in all of Davids compositions." - Michael Dannon, Independent Music Press
I have given the FiXT crew this album for sale as well, if you don't know of FiXT they are an innovative advocate of independent electronic/hybrid music
